What a fantastic place this is. Welcoming hosts and a beautiful building with lovely attention to detail, great breakfast even including eggs from their own chickens! This is a B&B not a hotel, so be ready to go to a local restaurant for dinner (hosts provided great recommendations.). Worth having your own car when staying here. Next time in Geel...

It was by far the best accommodation I had so far. Jan's and Marc's restored ranch is simply a corner of paradise. Unique rooms, incredible breakfast, very friendly and helpful staff (Jan and Marc), attention to details. If you are looking for a romantic getaway or a quiet location for your business trip, this is the place to go to!...

Dear Ioana. Thanks for the really nice review. It was also a pleasure for us to have you as our guest.
Jan and Marc

We were greeted warmly by the owner with welcoming drink and details info about the area. The B&B is very well planned and decorated in high finishing standard. We stayed in Appel (Apple) room which is well equipped with white linen, tea, coffee at the corner and a flat screen TV.
The highlight of the stay for us were the...

I stayed here as a stop off on a long journey and what a find! Jan and Marc have lovingly restored this farm to be the most beautiful and incredibly stylish place to stay. With such warm and welcoming hosts whose attention to detail is meticulous and wonderfully clean and comfortable rooms, I couldn't help but have a wonderful stay...

When I remember beautiful Belgium, it will always begin with my time at the magical de Grote Kievit B & B. The combination of the lush landscape, our warm hosts, perfectly prepared breakfasts, and a scrupulously clean house blended together in my most pleasant memories of Belgium. Thank you, guys!

I had the pleasure to stay at Jan and Marc's with my sister, brother-in-law and niece last August on the occasion of my daughter's wedding celebration in Meerhout. From the moment I walked in to the moment I walked out, I was made to feel very warmly welcomed. I arrived in a lather as I had got lost around Geel...

What a wonderfull review! You make us blush, but proud at the same time...

I had the pleasure to stay with Jan and Marc on a regular basis due to a work assignment in the area. After staying in the usual hotels I discovered De Grot Kevit and never looked back as I discovered perhaps one of the best B&B's I've ever stayed at. The location is peaceful, away from the hustle of a...

A "home from home" and "attention to detail"! Those are the best compliments we can get!!
Thanks for this really nice and positive review!

Me, my boyfriend and a friend of ours have recently been at De Grote Kievit to join Groezrock festival in Meerhout. The b&b was 20 minutes far from there, surrounded by an outstanding garden and a super relaxing atmosphere. Jan and Marco made us feel like home, nourishing their place as a member of the family itself and preparing us...

Marc v, Owner at De Grote Kievit, responded to this review

Thank you very much for the really nice and positive review!!!
And indeed most of our guests visit us to enjoy the scenery, relax, chill, hiking, biking...etc....or as a peacefull haven to make trips to nearby city's.

Prepare for a "hello" outside when you arrive. It sets the scene: very warm and supportive hosts will do their utmost to make your stay a good and relaxing one. It is a wonderful, peaceful, clean B&B with the luxury that Relais and Chateaux can match. Excellent breakfast with local products and an egg as wished. Cosy, warm people, and...

Thank you very much for the really nice review! We always try to to make our guests feel at home and make it as comfortable as possible.

Marc and Jan have a wonderful property here. We have been very well received and they stayed always available to give us all sort of information.
The house and the garden, really huge garden, are beautiful. Marc and Jan have designed all themselves and did an exceptional job.
The house and the rooms are spotlessly clean. We can't remember we...

Thank you very much for your beautifull, positive and extensive review! This is why we like to do this job!

Bed and Breakfast De Grote Kievit. The Grote Kievit is an early 19th-century farm with a rich history (King Leopold I, Baron Coppens, the First World War…). The professional renovation by the present owners, Marc van den Boorn and Jan Goossens, interior designer and landscaper, gave the buildings and the B&B a very modern feeling respecting the old features. The lovely landscaped garden is very inviting. There are chickens and sheep. You enjoy a copious breakfast with homemade jams, fresh eggs etc....The Grote Kievit is situated in a protected agricultural Kempen area with fields, farms, woods, the Prinsenpark, bogs and wonderful biking and walking routes... Peace, quietness, nature and relaxing...Welcome!...more less
